It's been 10-years since the unfortunate death of singer/rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and now her former bandmates Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas are celebrating TLC’s 20th anniversary and revealing some little unknown facts about the talented late Left Eye....

Before Destiny's Child, TLC ,was the world's leading girl group. Blending R&B, pop and hip hop, the CrazySexyCool gals broke records and made headlines with their antics in and out of the studio.

But their time as a leading group was tragically cut short as the band dealt with the untimely death of Left Eye in a car crash in Honduras 10 years ago.

Now T-Boz and Chilli are revealing to ESSENCE.com about misconceptions & the good times with their friend. Here are the highlights:

ESSENCE.com: Today marks 10 years since we lost Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in a tragic car accident. What do you remember about that day?

T-BOZ: She died a day before my birthday. I remember everything. I was with security in my Porsche and I said to them, ‘I feel like I’m going to get in a wreck and I want to go home.’ The driver said: ‘Well that’s on the other side of town.’ I didn’t care; I wanted to go home. I just felt something was going to happen to me, but it wasn’t me it was Lisa. I was sitting in a rocking chair in my daughter’s room after putting her down when I got a call from Chilli. She was screaming. I had just gotten out the hospital from fighting sickle cell so I had to be careful about getting upset. Everybody was trying to keep me calm.

I remember staying up all night and Patti Labelle and Missy Elliot calling me. Whitney Houston was at Lisa’s Funeral. She sat behind me and rubbed my shoulders for two hours, while telling me ‘it’s going to be okay, it’s going to be alright.’ Right before that, I remember Lisa played a trick where she went missing and nobody knew where she was. This was the one time I wish she was joking and doing one of her stunts, but she wasn’t.

ESSENCE.com: People playfully identified her as the crazy one in the group because of the notable fire in 1994 amongst other things. What’s the biggest misconception about Left Eye?

T-BOZ: That’s the part that sucked. The fire could’ve even been stopped if they stopped acting like little girls and put the fire out. That really could’ve been settled differently. I just really wish people would’ve known her for the sweet passionate person she really was. She was very creative too, I remember I was in the hospital for four months and she sent me a clock that she made and the clock read: “Take all the time you need.” She really put thought into things.

CHILLI: People didn’t understand how much of a heart she really had and how passionate and giving she was. She might have come across as someone who wanted to start trouble all the time but that wasn’t it; she just had a lot to say. Sometimes when you speak what’s on your mind—I’m talking everything on your mind, people can get a misconception of you. So because she spoke her mind, all of the time, it caused people to misjudge her.

ESSENCE.com: A lot of people believe TLC was feuding when Left Eye passed. What was your relationship like at the time?

CHILLI: It was actually very good; we had started working on the last album. We all had solo deals. I was just like “we have to do another record,” I was willing to put everything on hold. That was the last time we got to spend quality time together before she passed. The relationship was good; she was acting silly again, playing pranks on people. Her death was very devastating for us but I can look back and say I was happy about what our relationship was like, at that time.

T-BOZ: No matter what, everyone will go through a disagreement, that’s what makes us all different. So it’s unrealistic to tell anybody that we all agreed with everything that everyone did or said. That doesn’t happen in a real relationship. At the time, she just didn’t agree with what the record company was doing with the project, so she felt strong about standing up about it. It had nothing personal to do with the group members. I didn’t have a problem with that.

ESSENCE.com: Tell us about the VH1 biopic. Are you looking to have someone in Hollywood play you guys, or all new unknown actresses?

T-BOZ: It’s going to have to be new kids, I can’t think of anybody that can play us, it’s not just about looking like me or dressing like me, you have to have the attitude, the dance moves. The writer of the biopic, Kate Lanier, is amazing. She did the movies Set it Off and What’s Love Got to Do with It. Hopefully the movie will be out before the end of the year.

CHILLI: It’s going to be like a movie of the week on VH1. You know how the Jackson Five have the movie The Jackson Five: An American Dream? It would be like that. I love how they still show the Jackson Five movie now; they will show that for the next 40 years. [Laughs] I’m really excited about it; this was a dream of mine. I knew that we would have a movie about us one day. I want to go for someone unknown to play us. I really would prefer to reach out and find someone that resembles us and who really has the acting chops and who can dance.

Chilli & T-Boz also revealed a new 20-year anniversary tour is in the works with the help of L.A. Reid. Great to hear them sharing things about Left Eye we didn't know.

And we're angry because Zimmerman stalked N murdered Trayvon Martin yet look what we do2each other...Disrespect each other terribly/ Kill each other emotionally/mentally and physically...we assisinate each others characters N Murder each other spiritually....smh "May God Help us N 4Give us ALL

This whole hologram thing is completely morbid and satanic. They are literally bringing back these celebs from the dead to shuck and jive some more for the elite and masses asleep. There is something demonic about that. Let the dead rest in peace! Left Eye is burning in hell right now for selling her soul, and the same fate awaits these two washed up witches if they don't repent. You would think they got it after the way Lisa was taken out, but no, they'll stoop so low to even perform with their dead bandmate to feed their carnal lust for fame and fortune. How creepy and eerie! Those cheering and jeering the use of these holograms are just as dark and twisted as these lost souls in the industry, you people will probably be the first in line to receive the RFID chip because it'll be the latest fad that all the celebs are promoting. Wake up! Boz and Chili have to submit to this tour in order to pay their slave masters (Zionist-synagogue of Satan -Jews) They are probably indebted up to their eye balls, it wouldn't surprise me to find out that Lisa was murdered to pay off some remaining debt on their contract. These major record labels act as banks loaning out money to their clients (who are really slaves) knowing damn well they will never make enough back to repay them, so you will be working to pay off that debt for the rest of your life. No one retires....ever! The more money you make on tours and from album/movie sales the more money and hype they sell to you.

Honey...I'm just curious to know how you can be so sure that Lisa, 'Left Eye', is "burning in hell right now for selling her soul". You do not know what this woman's relationship was with the Almighty God, neither can you speak to what occured between her and her maker during those final moments, just before her death. You are NOT the one to play judge nor jury, especially when you are on a gossip site doing everything but winning souls for the Kingdom!

We here at the show love Left-Eye. She is the one who made the group interesting. I honestly don't thnk people are checking for TLC for them to actually get sponsors and go on tour #sorrytlc
......................LAUNCHING JUNE 2012...............CLICK THE LOGO............CHECK US OUT!!

This was nice. It makes me think of the docu/movie The Last Days of Left-Eye. I watched it the first time it aired, and never again. The days leading up to her death... with the numerology she was heavily into & things adding up... it got too creepy. I can't watch that anymore because I don't want it in my head & making me uncomfortable.

yeah, The Boys and Tevin Campbell took a backseat to TLC... I'm not gonna front when I was 9 or 10 growing up I wanted to be T-Boz or Aaliyah so bad LOL... they were just mad cool, laidback, chill and pretty girls...... (now if any of you all don't know who The Boys "Dial My Heart" or maybe even A.B.C. "Coolin' ar the Playground" are you're going make me fall out my rocking chair_ baaawhaaaahaaaaaa!!!!!!!)

A TLC tour...when the essence of TLC,Left Eye,...is dead?? Call me a pessimist,but i'm not holding my breath on the success of this one;unless,of course,they're planning on doing the type of graphic imaging they used for Tupac.

Tatyanna Ali should play Chili, Keri Hilson should play T Boz and Kyla Pratt from One on One should play Left Eye. I think those girls resemble TLC. I will be watching as soon as I get my cable cut back on cuz times is hard lmao.
